Default made alittle something today /body resto first gen crx hf

as most of you know when you lower a first gen it pulls to hole chassis to the left causeing the right tire and rim to rub a bit ,So i had to make a ajustable panhard bar ,played with it a bit and got the axle back to center havent painted it yet and its not the best but it will work ,im going to get a bigger rodend for the one side since it looks kinda funny and the other one has a grease nipple so id like to have sqweek free driving for a long time

here are the pics


haha look at that little guy ,its a 3/8 rodend just like the other ,but for some reaon when i ordered them in this is what i got ,so it will have to do for now

test fit ,looks way better then that junk on the ground lol

Correct they have them for mini trucks when you two link them... it is for the stress on the link bars from the rear end shifting... I also have a mini truck a 2000 gmc sonoma single cab that is bagged and Traditional body droped 6 1/4"...

Is it boosted? Or are you suffocating the carbs/TB's?

no its not boosted i was just playin around with the welder ,trying to come up with a diffrent filter instead of having the normal ones out there installed on the carbs ,i do not have these carbs installed at the moment ,i have a stock carb ,but when i have all the body work done im going to find a set of weber side drafts

i relized after that the back carbs would be starved or the first 2 would get to much air ,sssssssooooooooooo that little sucker is sitting on the shelf lol

Ya last time people were dicks...fack em. Most of them don't know what the expletive they are talking about anyways, it made me upset too And those that know what they are talking about...don't know how to communicate on the net, putting people down for no reason...it's bullshit. This place should be about learning not ******* people over for fun.

the bar is being painted tomorow its been raining and alittle cold too paint
